driving the rsx type s is my therapy
Welcome to a typical Saturday for me: wake up in the morning, have coffee and breakfast, grab my camera gear, and go exploring in my 2006 Acura RSX Type S. It's one of those simple things that I very much look forward to. It clears my head. It's a time to reflect on my life. It's where I get creative ideas or see inspiration. It's my version of therapy.
I know a lot of you car people out can relate. It's a great feeling. And in this video, I'm taking you with me for a ride along.

Thanks! It’s been an awesome car. And I would imagine there has to be something out there for the FL5. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust on that or is it stock still? I haven’t really researched anything about those but I really dig the way they look.

@@FL5ghost Nice, hopefully that opens it up more for you. And saw your profile pic, love the white. Such an iconic color for the Type R.
Keep it up bro. Good content and I'm saving to get myself a RSX eventually.

Thank you man! Well if you do you will not regret it. I think it’s a great sports car for a daily driver especially.
Love your videos and its style. Started looking for my first car to buy and loved the body of the RSX when I saw it online. Watching your vids honestly gives me so much inspiration to save and excited to work on one as soon as I can

Love hearing that! That means a lot, thank you. And you won’t regret it. It’s a such a great car. Things are different these days where I feel like a lot of people just look for high horsepower cars, but these lighter weight high revving cars are an absolute blast to drive. They are fun to drive stock for a while and even more fun with some mods. I think the sweet spot for me with this car will be getting to about 275 whp and continuing to make it lighter.
Nice

Thanks man, appreciate it. I’m in love with this exhaust. Goal is to eventually get the other two exhaust manifold pieces from Spoon to have the full exhaust. But most likely will be wheels/tires/BBK next.

@@abedintai8485 hell yeah! Congrats on picking up an RSX. That will be cool to capture the journey. And I really appreciate it. I’m going to do a video about my gear coming up but the short/quick answer is I use a Sony FX30, Sony 15mm 1.4 lens, Sony ECM-B1M shotgun mic, and I use Final Cut Pro for editing.
Let's go!

So true, but I'd say honda is doing the best at staying true as they're one of the only car manufacturers to still be making manuals nowadays, yes they're still not what whey used to.. but I'll take what I can get at this point 😆
